Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable

I'm going to purchase some AQ speaker cables, and am considering bi-wired AQ Robin Hood Zero vs full range William Tell Zero (with quality jumpers). The bi-wired RH is about $500 more expensive than the full range WT, but on a comparable basis, WT is the more expensive cable. Any thoughts on sound quality between the options I described above would be greatly appreciated.

@thyname - You are correct good sir... They do suggest using the top posts on the 802D in the manual. My mistake 🙁. Maybe that is why I heard such an improvement when bi-wiring mine. FWIW, they do recommend bi-wiring in the manual though.

OP: With the 802D's I believe they suggest to run the wire to the bottom jacks, then jumper(s) to the top jacks. Since you have both pairs... try biwire with the tells on top to see if it improves the sound after trying them individually with jumpers.

I've found bi-wire to sound better with my speakers (B&W 802D's) than jumper(s).
